As an alternative, you can export the data to a PDF file This export can be started directly from the report. The advantage is that bookmarks are transferred from the printout report, which makes the navigation in the created PDF file easier.
PDF Export of Printout Report
A PDF version of the printout report can be created in two ways. The most common way is to use a PDF printer that must be previously installed. The printer will be controlled like a real printer.

In RF‑/CONCRETE Columns, different methods are available for defining the minimum longitudinal reinforcement. The minimum reinforcement can be selected according to the design standard used and/or specified by the user.
You can assign comments to each element in RFEM and RSTAB (structure element, load element, and so on). This can help to improve the overview and documentation of structures, as the comments appear in the printout report and, for example, certain objects can be filtered and displayed using the "Select Special" function.

The Project Manager is installed by default when installing RFEM and RSTAB and it manages all projects and calculation files. In the Project Manager, you can link different projects to have a clear overview of the program files.
Do you have individual column sections and angled wall geometries, and need punching shear design for them?
No problem. In RFEM 6, you can perform punching shear design not only for rectangular and circular sections, but for any cross-section shape.
For a response spectrum analysis of building models, you can display the sensitivity coefficients for the horizontal directions by story.
These key figures allow you to interpret the sensitivity to stability effects.
The modal relevance factor (MRF) can help you to assess to which extent specific elements participate in a specific mode shape. The calculation is based on the relative elastic deformation energy of each individual member.
The MRF can be used to distinguish between local and global mode shapes. If multiple individual members show significant MRF (for example, > 20%), the instability of the entire structure or a substructure is very likely. On the other hand, if the sum of all MRFs for an eigenmode is around 100%, a local stability phenomenon (for example, buckling of a single bar) can be expected.
Furthermore, the MRF can be used to determine critical loads and equivalent buckling lengths of certain members (for example, for stability design). Mode shapes for which a specific member has small MRF values (for example, < 20%) can be neglected in this context.
The MRF is displayed by mode shape in the result table under Stability Analysis → Results by Members → Effective Lengths and Critical Loads.
You can use the "Plate Cut" component to cut plates (for example, gusset plates, fin plates, and so on). There are various cutting methods available:
- Plane: The cut is performed on the closest surface to the reference plate.
- Surface: Only the intersecting parts of plates are cut.
- Bounding Box: The outermost dimension consisting of width and height is cut out of the plate as a rectangle.
- Convex Envelope: The outer hull of the cross-section is used for the plate cut. If there are fillets at the corner nodes of the cross-section, the cut is adapted to them.
How can I permanently save the parameters in the "Units and Decimal Places" dialog box?
I obtain different results when comparing the deformation analysis in the RF‑CONCRETE add-on modules and another calculation program. What could be the reason for this?
How do I install the network license (NET softlock) on the server?
For a deformation analysis of my surface model in RF‑CONCRETE NL, I get implausibly high values. What can be the reason?
Why are the results deleted when opening an RFEM 4 / RSTAB 7 file in RFEM 5 / RSTAB 8?
